i've been so slack in our overlay side .. i've popped in occasionally to feast my eyes, but havent had time to make many comments .. but i thought i'd come to your portfolio and see wot i'd missed of yours judy ..
i dont know, maybe i'm feeling a bit emotional, but for some reason this image of yours makes me want to cry .. !!
could be that its so beautiful .. love the dark .. love the mysterious .. love the tones .. just love it .. !:)
Every time I look at your pictures in this genre you are so talented at, I don't know what to say because I hate to sound so gushy, but seriously! I always wonder how you pull off this amazing textured, grungy look, without a trace of overdoing it -- or even looking like it isn't just naturally that way. AMAZING!! Since this kind of art is so popular now, you could probably make some money offering hands on classes!
Well, here's a few superlatives for you...enlightened, elevated (you hinted at that in the title), ethereal, engaging, enrapturing... those are just a few of the Es. I could go on to some Fs - fabulous, fantastic, fantabulous (a mixture of the first two), far out, fresh. You want some Gs? Gorgeous, gloomy, grungy, gutsy...it's just plain good!
I was very curious what kind of flower that was that you had used before...really like how you framed this up...would really like to learn just how to do that...this is just wonderful!!
